School of Medicine LCME Remediation Plan

The remediation of the deficiencies cited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education
(LCME) will be driven by these overarching priorities developed by Dean and Vice President
for Medical Affairs, Dr. Kevin Behrns, M.D.:

Our primary goal is to prepare our students to be outstanding clinicians, researchers,
community leaders, and lifelong learners.

We will review our medical education program from top to bottom to ensure compliance
and seek opportunities for novel educational approaches.

We will address in detail the cited deficiencies, but every element of every standard
in the LCME guidelines will be reviewed to ensure that we meet or exceed their standards.

We will create a culture of discipline and teamwork with accreditation and documentation
of our processes.

We will work closely with the LCME and other extramural medical education experts
to seek input related to redesign our educational programs to ensure they are world-class.

The Observation Working Group will focus on reviewing and examining real-time the
changes that we have incorporated into the curriculum. It will view preclinical and
clinical instructional venues and report to the Steering Committee.
